Please see the attached design requirements design, and the contest templates PSD. This should make it abundantly clear what we want.

Other notes

PLEASE REVIEW THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS! They make it very clear what we're going for. Also, use the attached PSD and the guides/rules inside of it.

------------------------------------------------------

We aren’t settled on any particular colors, so designers are free to explore that as they see fit. Our logo is used in any color, so it can be changed to whatever color fits your scheme. We do want something fairly colorful, not something academic or government. Our brand projects an accessible and fun tone. We want clean lines and plenty of white space. We don’t want flashy or trendy finishes or effects; for example, we don’t like carousels with the wet floor look, outer glows, etc. (i.e. http://arapahoelibraries.org/ald/). Subtle gradients and drop shadows are acceptable. Large type with nice leading is appreciated.
